Timeline
Nicholas Alexander Folk (born November 5, 1984) is an American football placekicker for the Tennessee Titans of the National Football League (NFL).
On October 11, Folk became the first Jets kicker to kick five field goals in a home game since Pat Leahy achieved the feat in 1984.
Folk set a franchise record for the longest kick, making a career long kick of 56 yards against the Denver Broncos on October 17.
The longest field goal of his college career, a 52-yarder, came in 2005 against USC.
During his sophomore year, he also took over the punting duties in addition to his kicking duties.
He earned All-Pac-10 honors as a senior.
He finished his college career after making 30-of-47 field goals, 79-of-81 extra points, and 96 punts for 4,242 yards (44.2 avg.), including a long of 61 yards.
He played college football at the University of Arizona, where he received first-team All-Pacific-10 honors, and was selected by the Dallas Cowboys in the sixth round of the 2007 NFL draft.
Folk was selected by the Dallas Cowboys in the sixth round (178th overall) of the 2007 NFL draft.
Folk made the longest kick of his career to that point, a 53-yard game winner against the Buffalo Bills on Monday Night Football during his rookie season.
He was named NFC Special Teams Player of the Week for Week 5.
Folk was named to the 2008 Pro Bowl as a rookie with the Cowboys before playing his next seven seasons with the New York Jets and becoming the franchise's second-leading scorer.
That season, he became the first Cowboys rookie Pro Bowl kicker, after being selected to serve as the NFC's kicker during the 2008 Pro Bowl, having gone 26-of-31 in field goal attempts and making all 53 extra points he attempted during the season.
Folk also broke the Cowboys single-season record for most points by a placekicker (131) during his rookie season.
In 2008, Folk continued his strong performance as he made 91% of his kicks and once again made all 42 of his extra point attempts.
Following the 2008 season, Folk discovered a problem with his hip that the Cowboys medical personnel diagnosed in his flexor, but it did not heal with the prescribed treatment.
After conducting more tests, it was discovered that Folk had a torn labrum and underwent surgery in May 2009.
The normal recovery period would have had Folk returning near the beginning of training camp but Folk rushed his rehab and as a result, the hip did not heal properly.
Folk struggled as he entered his third season with the Cowboys in 2009.
His performance was erratic, evidenced by the fact that he only made 64.3% of his field goals, converting 18 out of 28 opportunities.
On December 19, 2009, Folk attempted a 23-yard field goal against the New Orleans Saints that would have increased the Cowboys lead to ten points; earlier in the game, he had successfully kicked a 51-yard field goal.
However, he missed as the ball hit the goalpost.
Although the Cowboys won the game, the team lost faith in Folk and he was waived on December 21, and was replaced by Shaun Suisham.
On February 23, Folk signed a one-year contract with the New York Jets.
Head coach Rex Ryan mocked Folk's early performances during the team's offseason workouts; however, after working out with special teams coordinator Mike Westhoff, who helped refine Folk's kicking technique after allowing his hip to fully recover, Folk began to gain consistency once again.
During the 2010 season, Folk converted 30 field goals out of 39 opportunities.
During the AFC Wild Card Round against the Indianapolis Colts on January 8, 2011, Folk kicked the game-winning field goal with only three seconds remaining in the 4th quarter, helping the team make their second straight AFC Championship where they would end up losing to the Pittsburgh Steelers.
